Abstract: Afin d'empêcher ou de réduire au minimum l'apparition d'artefacts de blocage dans une image, en raison du traitement indépendant de chaque bloc chevauché d'une image par un filtre parmi un grand nombre de filtres différents, on calcule des valeurs de correction de pixels vraies, puis on les ajoute à chaque pixel de l'image, pour que la transition entre les blocs adjacents de pixels soit douce. Ce procédé correcteur, appelé 'stitching', est appliqué soit dans le domaine spatial soit dans le domaine fréquentiel a chaque bloc de pixels filtrés dans l'image et comprend généralement les étapes suivantes: (i) choisir les points de mesure dans un bloc donné, pour que ces points de mesure résident dans des zones chevauchées par des blocs adjacents et se situent entre des pixels qui ont été sauvegardés (la région sauvegardée) et des pixels qui ont été écartés durant le filtrage; (ii) déterminer des valeurs de points de mesure à chaque point de mesure par mesure ou approximation de pixels à partir de pixels voisins, selon la nécessité; (iii) calculer des valeurs de correction de points de mesure qui ne sont pas égales à zéro, lorsque les points de mesure sont situés entre des pixels; (iv) calculer des valeurs de correction de pixels vraies pour les pixels situés dans la région sauvegardée par interpolation entre les valeurs de correction de points de mesure; et (v) modifier les valeurs de pixels dans la région sauvegardée en fonction des valeurs de correction de pixels vraies respectivement.

Abstract: In a combustion gas reformer, exhaust ducts are provided at a lower portion of the reformer. Openings are provided in opposite side walls along the length of each exhaust duct. The openings are uniformly distributed at a constant height along the longitudinal direction of the exhaust duct. The openings are disposed in the side walls at a constant height, and may be arrayed in two steps or rows. A partition wall is provided on the upper wall and extends along the length of the exhaust duct. The amount of combustion gas flowing into the duct through the openings at the lower portion of the side walls increases gradually toward the exhaust outlet. However, since the cross section of the duct toward the outlet becomes gradually enlarged, pressure and gas distribution become uniform. Also, no transverse flow of the combustion gas occurs, due to the partition wall being disposed on the upper wall of the duct.

Abstract: The present invention offers a method and apparatus for
measuring the waveform quality of a CDMA signal with
increased accuracy. A baseband digital measuring signal Z(k)
from a quadrature transform/complementary filter 22 is
applied to a demodulating part 25, wherein it is demodulated
by a PN code of a pilot signal to detect a bit train and an
amplitude a' i . An ideal signal R i  is generated from the bit
train, the amplitude a' i  and the PN code. At the same time,
auxiliary data A, B, C, H and I, which are used to solve
approximate simultaneous equations for computing parameters
that minimize the square of the difference between the ideal
signal R i  and the measuring signal Z(k), are generated in an
ideal signal/auxiliary data generating part 26. The thus
obtained auxiliary data and the measuring signal Z(k) are
used to solve the simultaneous equations to estimate the
parameters in a parameter estimating part 27. The parameters
are optimized by repeatedly correcting the measuring signal
Z(k), the ideal signal R i  and the auxiliary data A, B, C, H,
I based on the estimated parameters and estimating the
parameters based on the corrected data. When the parameters
are optimized, the power coefficient ρ i  is computed using the
optimized measuring signal Z(k) and the PN code.

Abstract: The hip cup of this invention includes a porous metal outer shell, preferably formed from fiber metal, and a compression molded polyethylene component defining an articulating surface at its center for contact with a prosthetic femoral head. The porous outer shell is placed within a mold and the polyethylene component is compression molded within the shell. To prevent the porous shell from collapsing or distorting about its equatorial edge ( and thereby distorting the articulating surface) a constraining ring is fitted over the edge of the shell prior to the molding of the polyethylene component. The ring is held in contact with the shell by the molded polyethylene. The constraining ring prevents the edges of the shell from radially distorting during impaction into a prepared acetabulum or during use.

Abstract: A ferroelectric liquid crystal display comprises an addressable matrix of pixels
32, and addressing circuitry 30, 31 for selectively addressing each pixel 32 in order to
vary the transmission level of the pixel relative to the transmission levels of the other
pixels. The addressing circuitry includes spatial and/or temporal dither circuits for
addressing separately addressable subpixels with different spatial dither signals and/or
for addressing each pixel or subpixel with different temporal dither signals in separate
subframes. In addition to such spatial and/or temporal dither, the addressing circuitry
switches each pixel or subpixel between different grey states corresponding to
different transmission levels, with at least two of the bits of spatial or temporal dither
being switchable between more than two different grey states and at least one bit being
switchable between a lesser number of different grey states than the or each other bit,
so that a plurality of different overall transmission levels are achievable by different
combinations of spatial and/or temporal dither and such grey states. This allows a
larger number of substantially linearly spaced or suitably weighted grey levels to be
produced than has previously been possible without giving rise to unacceptable
complications.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a system and method for performing remote object
invocation. A object-oriented computing system includes a number of independent
computing nodes that are interconnected via a communications link. The nodes
represent client and/or server computers that do not share memory. Each node
includes a number of domains having separate address spaces. Each domain
includes one or more threads of execution that invoke one or more objects. The
object's method can reside in the same domain as the requesting thread, in a
different domain within the same node, or in a different domain in another node. A
file descriptor is used to represent those objects whose methods reside in a different
domain than the requesting thread. A file descriptor is a protected kernel entity that
enables a thread to invoke an object. A thread can only access those objects for
which it has received an associated file descriptor. An Object Request Broker (ORB)
services the object invocation requests for those objects residing in different domains.
The ORB provides a mechanism that translates the file descriptor used to reference
an object in one domain into the file descriptor used to invoke the object in the
domain having the object's method.

Abstract: The method involves applying a test current to the magnetic switch so that the armature is lifted and then replaced. The test current is made up of a single test signal having at least two sections. In the first section, the test signal has the shape of an alternating current half wave. This has a current amplitude several factors higher than a response current which lifts the armature when a fault current is present. In the first section, a magnetic flux is generated which is in the opposite sense to the flux in the armature. In the second section of the test signal, the current has the opposite polarity to that in the first section. Independent claims also cover finite impulse switch for carrying out the method.
